 COMPACT DRILLS DELIVER
TOP PERFORMANCE
BUILT TO LAST!
Rotary blasthole drills from Sandvik set the standard for productivity, durability, and cost
effectiveness. These machines are built for continuous drilling in some of the harshest
operating environments in the world. Proven designs, rigid lattice style masts, heavy duty
pulldown chains, and durable power groups place these rigs in a class of their own.
Choose the right Sandvik rig for your needs and count on it to perform for years to come.

PROVEN DRILLS FOR D25KS D245S

DEPENDABLE OPERATION
The diesel powered, self-propelled
crawler mounted D25KS and D245S
drills deliver the most performance
from a compact production machi-
ne. Sharing a common platform, the
extensive lists of standard and optio-
nal equipment maximize these drills’
performances in an impressive range
of applications. Regardless of the spe-
cification, each D25KS and D245S is
mounted on a powerful undercarriage
and is highly maneuverable and stable.
First pass capability is 8,65 m (28’ 5”),
augmented with additional pipe loaders
for multi pass drilling.
The D25KS is equipped as a down-
the-hole (DTH) hammer drill, including
a high pressure air compressor, air line
lubricator and fine feed control. It is
commonly used in large quarries and
in gold and other metals mines. It is
the drill of choice among many con-
tractors.
• 127 to 172 mm (5” to 6 3/4”)
diameter holes
• Drilled depths up to 27 m (88’)
• Pulldown 124 kN (27,800 lbf)
• Bit load up to 143 kN (32,000 lbf)
The D245S comes standard as a rotary
drill, with a low pressure compressor
and stronger hydraulics for pulldown.
Its most popular application is coal
mining. With optional high pressure air,
the D245S is a versatile combination
machine to rotary drill in overburden
and hammer drill in aggregate or ore.
• 127 to 203 mm (5” to 8”)
diameter holes
• Drilled depths up to 45 m (148’)
• Pulldown 185 kN (41,500 lbf)
• Bit load up to 209 kN (47,000 lbf)

 KEY PRODUCT
FEATURES

01
Rigid lattice style masts and heavy duty pulldown
chains are part of the package that make Sandvik’s
D25KS and D245S blasthole drills top performers in
a class of their own. The angle drilling option is one
of the many features that drive this performance in
an impressive range of applications. The mast can be
set in 5° increments, from 0° to 30° for drilling
angle holes.

02
The effective handling of drill pipe contributes
to shorter cycle times and more holes drilled.
The D25KS has a max depth of 27m (88’) and
can handle two pipe sizes with the optional loader.
The D245S can drill to a max depth of 45m (148’).

03
Increasing the driller’s comfort and functionality
supports a safer environment and contributes to
greater work output. We utilize worldwide safety
standards and guidelines (Mining Design Guidelines
and Earth Moving Equipment Safety Round Table)
during our design process.
05
Moving and set-up are important parts of the drilling
cycle. To overcome the rugged terrain in a mining
environment, Sandvik drills deliver top performance
from strong, structurally sound undercarriages and
heavy duty frames, to standard two-speed tramming
on the D25KS and as an option on the D245S.

04
Sandvik hydraulic systems manage power operation
with few moving parts, produce abundant power,
work under extreme operating conditions, and are
self lubricating.
06
These drills have solid engine and compressor
options that provide the right combination for
each drilling condition. Compressor Management
System (lite) reduces CO2 emissions, saves 20-30%
on fuel with a proportional increase in engine and
compressor life.

07
Open well-designed, simplified work deck
offers quick access for easy troubleshooting
and serviceability.
